i will survive.  just need to make finger habits.

a biffy thing is described in
   http://www.gohome.org/wl/doc/wl_180.html#SEC180
it is the first thing i have found which locks up wl.  but maybe i
got a bit carried away.

(setq wl-biff-check-folder-list
     '("%inbox:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%freebsd-current:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%freebsd-fs:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%freebsd-net:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%freebsd-misc:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%ietf:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%ops-lists:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%tools:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%vendors:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%wanderlust:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%root:randy/clear <at> foo.honto.jp:993!"
       "%inbox:george/clear <at> honto.jp:993!"
       "%inbox:randy/clear <at> localhost:9993!"))

;; how often to check
(setq wl-biff-check-interval 60)
;; ring the bell (default)
(setq wl-biff-notify-hook '(ding))

thanks for the clues.
